Considers current events through an examination of this seventeenth-century philosopher. In recent years there has been a revival of interest in the writings of Baltasar Graci???n, a seventeenth-century Spanish Jesuit who explored the political uses of rhetoric. Graci???n is best known in the United States for his bestselling collection of aphorisms entitled The Art of Worldly Wisdom, but his pragmatic philosophy has been influential in Europe since the mid-seventeenth century. The essays in this volume focus on the relevance of Graci???n's writings in our own day, when the importance of rhetoric as a discipline necessary to manage public life is indisputable. Ranging in focus and theoretical perspective from Lacanian psychoanalysis to the sociology of everyday life, from considerations of aesthetics and philosophy to examinations of the culture of the baroque, these essays demonstrate that Graci???n's work offers insights into the deployment of rhetoric under the "New World Order."
